In golden Hannibal Carthage days, marching on to Rome, Knocking on the door and finding nobody home there. Rome she cut our armies down and left them in the snow, So now I go to where I come from, Now I go home to the sun.
When the earth moves again, When the earth moves again my friend, Let the lady ride on through, When the earth moves again.
Egyptian kings they sing of gods and pyramids of stone, And they left the deserts clean, and they left the deserts golden, And shinin' as a beacon for those that need a road. (I do) Into the day and through the night, We go and find our way home.
When the earth moves again, My love to all the people I leave behind. Search out the new ground around you, When the earth moves again.
Your head can pull your body around 'n you can Leave whenever you can find the ground. Take what you find on the ground, Sea foam glass is sand.
If you've only lived on earth (If you haven't lived in heaven), you've never seen the sun, Or the promise of a thousand other suns that glow beyond here, And if you care to see the future, just look into the eyes Of your young, dancing children; Don't be afraid of our ways.
When the earth moves again, When the earth moves again, Watch the lady ride and sigh, When the earth moves again.
Moses, Moses, the Red Sea closes Over you when you least expect it to, When the earth moves again, When the earth moves again.
Crazy Miranda Lives on propaganda She believes anything she reads It could be one side or the other Free Press or Time Life covers She follows newsprint anywhere it leads But still she can't seem to read
And nobody knows Nobody knows what she needs It could be love
All the pretty ladies textbooks Tell her how to have the "next look" The Bible tells her stay as plain as you are But she wants all the pretty boys beside her To write some pretty words to guide her To tell her they love her body as well as her mind She wants some kind of sign?a sign of love Oh never mind?she's not your kind.

Law man--I'm afraid you just walked in here at the wrong time my old man's gun has never been fired but there's a first time & this could be this could be the first time
Law man you know you look to be a lot younger than me and I'd hate to shoot a baby you've got a long way to go before you're old & slow and it could be it could be a good time if you change your mind well I'm tired and sweet from making love and it's just too late you'll have to wait bring your business around here in the morning
well I've heard your line & you've heard mine & I'm just too tired to take a side bring your business around here in the morning Don't you want to be easy look there let some of the things you see go on by or you can burn them into your brain go on home Don't you see the children, they're just like you they want everything to be fine but they let it slide and the laughing lets you know that smiling breaks the rules
Law breaker you know it could be me & if you had your way we'd all be down under the face of a clock that's just too old to be wound & you can see now the old hands won't move around one way or the other, fool card brother this could be, this could be, the first time.
Sometimes I feel like i am leaving life behind My hands are moving faster than the movement of my mind Thoughts and generations of my dreams are yet unborn I hope that I will find them 'fore my moving gets too worn If only I could live to see the dawning of the dawn
So we go on moving trying to make this image real Straining every nerve not knowing what we really feel Straining every nerve ending and everybody sees That what they read in the Rolling Stone has really come to be And trying to avoid a taste of that reality
On an early New York mornin' a mirror in the hall Showed to me a face I didn't know at all Lines were drawn around a pair of eyes that opened wide When I looked into the mouth there was nothing left inside So I walked into the little room and whistled like a sigh
As dawn light closed around me my head was still in gear Thinking thoughts of playing more and singing loud and clear Trying to reach a friend somewhere and make that person smile Maybe pull myself away from that old lonesome mile That often comes to haunt me in the morning
All my friends keep telling me that it would be a shame To break up such a grand success and tear apart a name But all I know is what I feel whenever I'm not playin' Emptiness ain't where it's at and neither's feeling pain
Well now what is going to happen now is anybody's guess If I can't spend my time with love I guess I need a rest Time is getting late now and the sun is getting low My body's getting tired of carryin' another's load And sunshine's waiting for me a little further down the road
sittin' around thinkin' thinkin' and a thinkin' and it ain't doin' me no good
well I thunk and I thunk couldn't think of anything better I tried and I tried tryin' ain't doin' me no good I write choo everyday, what could be my very last letter come what may I say
thinkin' ain't doin' me no good thinkin' ain't doin' me no good people thinkin' ain't doin' me no good, no good
I want to know, if everything that's sung will remain within the structure of a person whose mind I wish to claim please don't say that wantin' you won't do me no good please oh please don't say wantin' you won't wantin' you won't do me no good wantin' you won't do me no good woman wantin' you won't do me no good, no good
well I thunk thunk thunk thunk a lot about it realized my thunk is nuthin' but a lot of funk bunk down on in my place only a dream (hum) only a dream (hum) only a dream (hum)
thinkin' ain't doin' me no good no thinkin' ain't doin' me no good no people thinkin' ain't doin' me no good no good
In nineteen hundred and seventy-five all the people rose from the countryside to move against you government man d'you understand locked together hand in hand all thru this unsteady land-- gonna roll roll roll the rock around roll roll roll the rock around lift the rock out of the ground
